This Makita Planer offers precise depth knob adjustment with click stops of 0.1mm on an easy to read scale. Heavy duty but lightweight at 2.5kg. A foot on base plate keeps blade and planer base free from damage when placed on workpiece. Front base has a chamfering groove for easy alignment with workpiece. Capable of a maximum planing depth of 2.5mm and 82mm planing width. With enhanced chip ejection due to improved fan design which generates more exhaust flow. Can be connected to Makita vacuum cleaner or dust bag (not supplied). The non-slip rubberised handle and knob give added grip and control and also minimise hand fatigue and vibration. People who bought this say: "Well made and good value for money." "Bought it principally to help make a hard wood mantelpiece. In between times we found it takes the bottom few millimetres off a door when a new carpet had been laid. Far easier than using a saw. Fun to use."
